The focus of the internship is the production of content for URTV (www.ulsterrugby.com/news/urtv.php) and so the role would suit a student or recent graduate of broadcast journalism looking to gain experience within the professional sporting environment.

From filming pre-season training sessions on the sand dunes of the North Coast to player features, URTV has provided a unique glimpse into life behind the scenes at Ulster Rugby

The internship is part-time, and while the role is not office based, some flexibility is required in order to work around team training schedules. The successful candidate will be expected to produce 3-4 URTV features each month and we'll be looking for a go-getter bursting with ideas for content.

The suitable candidate will possess a knowledge of filming techniques and ability to use video editing software, excellent communication skills, and a good eye for detail. Knowledge of Ulster Rugby and rugby union in general is essential.

Please note that this role may involve working at weekends around games/some unsocial hours. Ulster Rugby can provide a video camera for capturing footage but other hardware and software is not provided.

This is an excellent opportunity to build significant experience working alongside key individuals within a professional rugby club.

To apply, email a CV and covering letter highlighting why you are suitable for the role as well as one sample of a short piece you have filmed and edited (less than 5 minutes) to: lyndsey@ulsterrugby.com
